Event Information

Thrilled to be bringing our pals in Fortitude Valley back to Oxford! The band are touring their sublime new album Part of the Problem, Baby - genuinely one of the best albums of 2025, absolutely chockablock with bangers.

Fortitude Valley is the brainchild of Laura Kovic. Taking influence from the likes of The Beths, The Go-Go’s and Pavement, what results is a ludicrously addictive cocktail of heart-stopping indie-punk power-pop melody and a back catalogue of songs that’ll be living in your head, rent free, for evermore.

“Classic UK indie-pop blended with the sunshine smile of first album Weezer” - Steve Lamacq, BBC 6music

"Fortitude Valley’s supercharged punky pop brims with summery melodies, shiny vocals, and sparkly guitar lines straight out of the Josie and the Pussycats soundtrack..." Bandcamp - Cool Band Alert

Support comes from the always wonderful Safety Jacket and Oxford’s very own power pop pioneers Junk Whale! Lovely times guaranteed!

FYI the venue is wheelchair accessible and the show is all ages, with under 14s accompanied by an adult.
